Critical Leadership examines the complex influence relationships between leaders and followers within public sector organizations, challenging conventional assumptions about where leadership truly resides. Published by Routledge as part of their Critical Studies in Public Management series, this used book in good condition offers a rigorous exploration of how social influence processes operate in modern organizational settings. The work presents critical approaches to leadership studies that move beyond traditional frameworks positioning leadership solely within formal leaders, instead investigating the forces that shape leader-follower dynamics and their broader implications for public management. This comprehensive analysis bridges leadership theory and practical organizational behaviour, making it valuable for students, academics, and professionals seeking deeper insight into how power, influence, and management function in public institutions.
